There are agp/drm updates in next kernel upload. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Ben Collins Status: Unconfirmed = Fix Committed -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I can't test it as I have finally taken the eay route out and removed apg and via from my system : I have replaced the motherboard with a new one with an intel chipset and a PCI-express card. -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the reply. I'll assume (unless someone tests and proves otherwise) that the agp/drm updates fix this. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Some more information: I have now deleted the via-agp.ko module; agp is now of course disabled. Gnome now still freezes after about 1 minute, but differently: applets are still working (showing activity) , I can move the mouse, but I cannot right or left click - there are no actions to my mouse clicks (no action when clicking on menus, no right click menu, no desktop select area, no wheel scroll, etc...). Keyboard still works ( I can ctrl-alt-f2 to get to the shell and come back to ctrl-alt-f7). So I then kill X with ctrl-alt-del, login again, and after about 1 minute the same happens again. As I said previously, the same happens with via-agp loaded, but then when I ctrl-alt-del to kill the server I get a kernel panic/complete system freeze); so this is not the case when via-agp is not loaded. I'm once again back to the perfectly working kernel 2.6.15... -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The new kernel 2.6.17-6.18 that was updated today, still has the same problem (freezes/kernel panics). -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just want to add, that I know that agp in working with the 2.6.17 kernel because: 1. cat /proc/drivers/nvidia/agp/status is showing that agp is enabled at 8x (it is disabled with the 2.6.15 kernel) and 2. I get 12000-13000 fps with glxgears (5000 fps with the 2.6.15 kernel) The 2.6.17 kernel sources have this new via-agp for via 880ultra driver that was absent in the 2.6.15 kernel. Previously, in dapper, I have manually patched the 2.6.15 kernel with the new via-agp and agpgart drivers extracted from the 2.6.17-rc, 2.6.17-mm and 2.6.17 kernel tree. The result with this patched 2.6.15 kernel was the SAME as with the 2.6.17 kernel (agp was working, but I had freezes and kernel panics). -- system freeze/kernel panic with kernel 2.6.17 (probably due to via-agp) https://launchpad.net/bugs/53772 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
